Russia and Ukraine traded attacks over the weekend, just shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin met with U.S. officials about a ceasefire deal.
Both sides reported more than 100 enemy drones over their territories, The Associated Press reported.
Putin said Thursday that he supported a truce but outlined numerous details that need to be negotiated before the deal can be completed.
He’s said he was open to a 30-day ceasefire proposed by the U.S. but offered vague terms for his support, raising questions about what the Kremlin wants.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer challenged Putin to sign up for the ceasefire deal if he was serious about finding peace. He said allied countries will continue to increase pressure on Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky voiced support for the plan and said the country wants to work toward a longer, definite ceasefire deal.
Zelensky has expressed concern about Russia’s activity in recent days, particularly along its border.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, where they discussed next steps after U.S. officials met with Ukraine in Saudi Arabia last week.
